Why is the sentence for my inmate so long?

You know your heart better than anyone else. If you want to contact him again, the only way to know if he wants to hear from you is to try. The worst thing that could happen is that he asks you to stop or he doesn't respond at all. If you don't try you'll never know and you'll always wonder.
